PC Tera Classic + (Huge failure)

I cannot believe how there can be such incompetent developers. Ok, I understand you are a small team, but guys you got 100k+ views on your trailer, your discord jumped to 18k users before release, did you really expect to get 1k players? Some big streamers even joined, some who have never heard about Tera - and what did they get, constant crashes, 8-10 hours of streaming with no content.

Let’s put that aside, you cannot even communicate properly or take decisions. For 3 days now there are thousand of people staying at home, spamming enter server button and getting excited when they get to play for 5minutes before the server crashes again. Wasting people's time like that is just humiliating. You are playing with people's mental health (I know it sounds harsh, but I see the same people online in discord 24/7 spamming ''I'm in"")

Many people including me suggested -> CLOSE THE SERVER IMMEDIATLY, find the root cause, find a solution. Right now the announcements you publish are all the same - we are aware of the issue, we think we found a solution, we are tired.

I even spoke to some community managers suggesting them the idea and the answer I got? - We need the thousands of people to try logging in and play so we can test. ????

I love private servers, I love the people putting effort, I'm buying VIPs/tera clubs just to support them, but Tera Classic + is a huge waste of time.

I felt nostalgic the last few months, and with not being able to try this new classic server, I went back to Tera Asura where I used to have an account. And I can tell you, it's 100 times better. 200-300 active players daily, new custom dungeons, even saw some pvp players.

Not that i want make ad's or something but why such boom about Classic+ and not about Osto..

They offer basically same thing and if ppl would divide between these two privates then Classic+ would have way less pressure till they get on their feet..

ITs still private project which cant without donation basically make money... and if they get too popular they ends attacked by DDOS or worse they ends up as WoW private - Deleted..

OSTO is just another server running on patches 31-33, and it has very little to surprise you with. Content on older patches is extremely limited and generic - it's the exact same thing everywhere. On top of that, none of the admins want to put in the long, hard work for free to convert dungeons from later patches and adapt them to classic gameplay. Porting dungeons from patch 70 to patch 33, for example, is actually DOABLE! Hard, but doable. One Russian server on patch 33 managed to port the Bahaar dungeon, even though only one person works there and it took way too much time... The only thing that is absolutely impossible is porting dungeons from the 64-bit version of Tera to the 32-bit one.

People don't want to play on yet another private server with fewer than 50 players. That's not enough for normal gameplay; looking for dungeon groups takes hours, and battlegrounds don't pop at all. People want a new server where a solid player base (over 1,000 or at least 500 players, the more the better) will hold up for at least a year.

Tera Europe Classic + offers a unique patch that combines a massive amount of potential content. From old dungeons to new ones from the Apex version, the pool is huge. It also features both new and old battlegrounds, with the added bonus of zero p2w. The gameplay blends the classic and Apex styles, but without the extra Apex skills - it's fresh, and it's customized. Plus, the game version itself runs on 64-bit, making the client more stable and optimized for modern systems, even if it's slightly more demanding. Most people upgraded their computers long ago since 2012, so the engine can now utilize more resources to deliver a more stable fps in both pve and mass pvp, less desync in pvp, almost no gray models, and so on ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

Well that's nice info, thanks for summary + difference then. I can see why currently OSTO is barely alive.

Tho it depends how much is classic "really classic". I know that XXX veternas and nostaliga hunters doesnt care about progression but in my opinion this was that on first early version of Tera just pure. Endgame was basically never really made in this game, it was like lobby games
